Eggnog Gingerbread Trifle Recipe

All my favorite holiday flavors, come together to create an amazing dessert. This Eggnog Gingerbread Trifle needs to be at every holiday party.

Every time I go to the grocery store as the holiday season approaches, I always check the milk section for my favorite holiday drink: EGGNOG.

I was thrilled when they started making it during Halloween, because now I get to enjoy it for one extra month every year.

When I came across this Eggnog Gingerbread Trifle (with eggnog pudding) – I knew it would be at the top of my holiday dessert list from now on.

I brought it to our mom’s house after one of our sister work meetings, and we polished off the entire trifle. Six spoons, one trifle.

If you love the holiday flavors of eggnog and gingerbread, you might just polish off this trifle, too.

When baking the cake, be sure you let the entire cake cook before you remove it from the pan.

To remove the cake from the pan, I like to place a cookie sheet, or large cutting board, on top, then flip the pan over on the counter, with the sheet or board on the bottom, and shake the cake until it releases from the pan.

You could also cut the cake, out of the pan, at small pieces at a time. I prefer this method because it works a little faster, and the cake stays together better.

You could also crumble the cake, if you didn’t want to cut it into cubes. I prefer the cubes, but wither way works.

Make sure your pudding mix, is instant pudding mix. Cook and serve pudding isn’t recommended. You could use it, but the texture will be a little different.

what else could I garnish this with?

I think this tastes delicious with gingersnaps, but you could also do a white chocolate ganache, white chocolate chips, cookie crumbles, molasses cookies, or even crushed candy canes.
